STUART ROBSON Is great practical Joker,
He is always playing pranks on somebody
and nobody falls a more frequent victim to
his humor than his associate comedian, Mr.
CRANE. The latter is goOd-natured gentle
man who submits with marvellous amiability
to whatever befalls him. CRANE has a fond
ness for prize fights and never misses an op-
portunity to see good smuggling match.

When Mr.. BARRETT returned from Europe
he presented ROBSON with fine portrait of
CoQUELIN. the eminent French actor ROB-
SON knowing his associates partlaity for
prize lighters took the picture to CRANE and
told him that it was portrait of ''Tug" WILL
SON. The latter gentleman studied the pic
ture long time and made numerous COM
ments on it. 'That is the face of perfect
gentleman, isn't it, CRANE?" remarked ROB-

giving it long critical gaze, sit bears the
marks Of intellectually, aud yet behind all and

81 never play joke on LAWRENCE BAR
RETT because never get chance said Mr.
ROBSON. BARRETT is always on the look
out. He is very ready fellow, and it is hard
to get him off his guard. EDWIN BOOTH is
the easiest man in the world to palm off a

most coniding man ever knew. He accepts
everything that is told him as fact

1t occasionally happens that CRANE gets
joke on ROBSON. They were playing Com
edy of Errors in Buffalo early in the season
The next morning the papers came out with
criticism on the play in which they agreed

ard CRANE was sadly deficient in his part.
The joke of it was that CRANE was sick in
bed and ROBSON had undertaken to play both
Droniios.

But when The Detroit boys crossed bats with

mortal verse.
